Summary/Abstract: The summary census of the Sanjak (Ottoman administrative district) of Bosnia from 1468/69 was translated by Prof. Dr. Ahmed Alicic, one of the most eminent Bosnian and Herzegovinian philologists and experts on the history of Bosnia under Ottoman rule. By translating this defter, Professor Alicic made a significant contribution to Bosnian and Herzegovinian historiography for several reasons, not only because of the quality of the translation, but also because, as a distinguished expert on the history of Bosnia under Ottoman rule, he resolved numerous dilemmas and uncertainties present in Bosnian and Herzegovinian historiography, and correctly identified the locations of many places mentioned in the defter. The names of most settlements have been preserved under the same or slightly modified forms, while the names of some places have disappeared over time.
